“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(At session time she sat waiting to see if a session would develop. None did, but she received brief notes from Seth: “You don’t have to worry about me drinking too much. I’m sick now from drinking what I did. Be comforting and put me to bed…. I can’t hold liquor. The problem will never arise. I drank too much and I can’t let Seth speak in his own voice, to answer my questions.” These Jane recited to me in her own voice.

(As we waited for the session to begin tonight, Jane said she still wasn’t used to the new method, the new voice; she still waits for its beginning, then is okay once started. Now, the very definite Seth voice and personality are missed.

(Jane’s delivery was faster and quite emphatic in here, in the new higher voice. Eyes open often. Now she took a long pause.)

He is a part of the overall entity that did become physical, although now in your terms that portion of his existence is finished. (Smile.) This portion was never physically materialized. (Long pause. This last sentence referred I believe to Seth’s entity itself, from inflections given.) In one way I am a whole that is more than the sum of its parts, while I am also a part of more than I am. (Long pause.)

(Again, now, Seth came through to close out the session. His appearance was abrupt, although expected, and as usual was forthright, strong in comparison with that of his entity, and very emphatic and humorous. Jane’s eyes opened often and she was very animated. 10:14)

Now—

I am present in a different manner. I am not speaking as one who has been physically oriented when the other voice comes. (Pause.) Now to some extent this allows me to dispense with certain distortions necessarily a part of any personality who has been physically oriented.

I am also amused because Ruburt feels more comfortable with me now. Identity has many selves, many self-structures, and my identity is always the same. If what I say sounds confusing—

(I asked the last question at 10:37, after a lengthy pause, to see if the session was over. Jane sat with her eyes closed, smiling. Well over a minute paused. I thought she was still in trance. She went through a variety of facial expressions, mostly smiling or quizzical, and changed her physical position several times. Two, then three minutes passed. Her eyes were still closed. I waited, wondering if something unusual might be taking place; ordinarily I would have ended the session. Now Jane looked puzzled. Four minutes.)

Now, you had better end the session.
